Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

So exhausted today. Studying was really difficult. Now I guess I am done with studying for the day.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mallow_family_guy_1_1_22.jpg

I understand, work can be quite stressful for me too. Perhaps we can play some table tennis.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_cosplaying_lillie_pokemon_3_4_22.png

That sounds like a great idea! That would be a good way for me to de-stress.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marnie_pokemon_family_guy_10_7_22.png

I'm also done with studying for today, so maybe I'll do some more swimming in the river to practice my swimming skills.

Apologies for my brief absence. I was called away on an urgent matter, and I will likely be gone again within hours. It’s part of the job. However, the Archivists have finished matching up EV’s database with ours, and merging the data. Thank you again, Icarus.

I’m going to be gone for the week.

Been a while, time to respond to some posts.

[1] I've heard some plans to stage alien invasions, I'm slightly worried that these plans might cause actual wars to break out. Alternatively... well, there are probably a bunch of closed circles that I'm not a part of, who knows what they are planning.

[2] Hey, welcome! Don't think I've seen you before. If you don't mind me asking, what got your friends to abandon you?

[3] Welcome to you too. How does the architecture of the computer you're using work, does it use binary signals? Also, you got reincarnated?

[4] Agreed. Best of luck to Narnia on her quest, it's a shame I couldn't do much for her.

[5] How does that make sense legally, shouldn't that be governed by a different law? Either way, I've only heard about furry hate from Stefan, but I'm happy they're no longer getting marginalized on your end.

[6] No problem, I'm always glad to help! Some statistics: 1.1% of your database has matches with a certainity of over 95% to ours - those matches make up about 28% of our database. I'm surprised the overlap is this low, but I guess it shows how incomplete ours is.

No problem!

At any rate, to the newcomers - my name's Icarus and with the help of Exotic Ventures, I can do almost anything lighter than five solar masses for you! Just call us and we'll be there to negotiate.
Oh, and by the way... this thread gets chaotic sometimes. Don't mind it.


Phos is safe, thanks to the mana core! They ran off into Stefan's homeworld, fell apart due to incompatibility, but we managed to bring them into a higher-degree universe and restore them.

Anyone else feeling kind of despondent and sad lately? I feel like my luck has been going down in recent weeks, and everything just seems to be happening in a way to maximize my emotional distress.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_cosplaying_lillie_pokemon_3_4_22.png

I can have that feeling too. Sometimes it seems like destiny just wants to see us suffer for its own amusement.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marnie_pokemon_family_guy_10_7_22.png

Sometimes I have had that outlook in the past, but I have tried (and mostly succeeded) to outgrow it. Things will be better for you guys soon. If you guys need anything, I'll be here for you.

Still, I still feel like if something bad could end up happening to me, it will end up happen to me, especially if I worry about the possibility beforehand. It's because these things I have worried about before actually do end up happening to me anyway.

Like that time I was laid off from my paid internship despite praying that I wouldn't end up getting laid off from my paid internship before it happened? Yeah, I know what that's like.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hapihapitchi_fly.jpg   [1] I agree with Marnie, there's maybe bad moments from the past but it's best to let it go and keep thinking positive for the present! aroo.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiddie_chick.png   Maybe that kind of mindset could bring you some good luck Mallow and Mina.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/canine_cutie.jpg   Even though my luck in our cartoon wasn't that great (in regards to appearances) but when I'm with these two, it's hard for me to keep the glass half empty. Tl;dr, generally having good support can be helpful sometimes.

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I probably will just try to keep being positive and happy, and if I can't naturally, then I'll find something that makes me laugh.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anis_icon_1.png I'm glad you asked. The computer prototype I'm using right now is run on magic, with a spirit stone as the power source. With magicology, I can pretty much invent anything I want if I put my mind into it.

And yeah... you could say that. I remember being on deathbed in a hospital in my previous life before the next thing I knew, I was reborn in the Kingdom of Palettia as its princess. Pretty weird, but I've gotten used to it by now. Although this created a bit of a problem when my new parents found out I couldn't use magic naturally despite me being a noble, so I was disqualified from inheriting the throne from my father because of it. They chose my brother Allie instead.

[1] Yeah, that's my question, too. How are the data packets sent from the TV Tropes servers getting processed and stored? Are they still in binary form when they arrive at your computer?
As for the cooling, I'd imagine that with the right construction, simple air cooling could work. Or maybe it's based on the local magic?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anis_icon_1.png Oooooo! So that's the name of the website the spirit stone connected to. Nice! I'll have to write this down in my notes for further analysis.

Hehehe! If you really want me to get technical, the computer prototype is powered by a raw non-elemental spirit stone that provides most of the magical energy. I have two other elemental spirit stones inserted that are at play. The Earth spirit stones create a network conductive aloy wires and circuits to channel the magical energy throughout, while the Wind spirit stones vent out heat to keep the thing from overheating. Also, I'm not sure if binary is involved. The main spirit stone does its own thing, I guess, but that's why I'll have to formulate more theories to how it works.

Hey Icarus, I know you don't keep up with infrastructure projects in my homeworld, but do you think you could pull this off?

I probably could, but the concept reeks of elitism so much that I'd probably cringe intensely with every single steel beam that I place. Funny that you mention it, because guess how eager dictators are to contact us when it comes to first contact and large construction projects like these. It's gotten so bad that we internally name wasteful, inefficient and overly large buildings like these "dictator's architecture".

And how do you respond to said dictators?

Most of the time, we just roast their politics in response. Sometimes, when an architect is in the right mood, they'll call in a team and use the alleged request as a guise to secretly make political caricatures of the dictator, and once they order us to take it down again, we refuse. I think we even caused a regime change once that way.

...Wow. That sounds too good to be true

[1] That sounds interesting... though also problematic if you want to optimize your computer for specific tasks, like rendering 3D objects or managing databases. I'm not sure if you'd have any uses for that, but do you think it would be possible?
